Filming scheduled for the 8th November was disrupted by heavy
rainfall, so a remount took place on the 16th November instead.

The area in front of the Riverside Arts Centre doubled up as the
Thames embankment for scenes that couldn't be completed in London itself
during Rise of the Cybermen/The Age of Steel. Director Graeme Harper
observed on the latter's commentary that the departure scene could only
be shot in London in the river direction due to filming having to
end at 7:00pm, hence the shots of the TARDIS were in Newport instead
(with Newport's bus station appearing in the background!).
